Vickie Dieth, D. Ed. Min, Christian Educator
Vickie’s first experience working in ministry could be described as a comedy of errors, complete with a rental house that burned to the ground, a church van and a broken speedometer in Atlanta traffic, and waking up on Youth Sunday, not really sure who would be preaching that morning. Her father told her, “If you still think you want to work in the church, there might be something to this.” And he was right. Over 20 years later, she’s still in educational ministry, and serves Christ Presbyterian in the areas of ministry to and with children and their families, and adult faith formation. She enjoys seeking ways to help folks connect their stories with the larger story of God’s people, and to better understand their call as a disciple of Christ in our current culture. Vickie received her Doctorate in Educational Ministry in 2012 from Columbia Theological Seminary.

During the week she is the Operations Manager for Verity Health Center where she continues to spread God's word to her patients.
